Make a Meaningful November

There’s something about the hullabaloo of summer followed by the resettling of September running right into the Halloween costumes of October (which is a busy month for tarot readers) that just makes me grateful to arrive at November.

I feel like November is a time to catch my breath before the swirl of hectic December holidays.

In the same way that we make intentions for a new year, let’s make some intentions for this month ahead.

The Gentle Way Through Overwhelm

I often overbook myself, take on too much, and resist pulling out of any commitments when I realize I am past my limits.

My German mom and workaholic dad taught me to just push on through the overwhelm. I am grateful for the fortitude they instilled in me, but I am trying to learn a new way.

I want to make different choices when I get this drained and fried out.

So I got up, and put away the tools and work gear. I tidied up the mess from the partially done big task. I accepted that it would reside in limbo.

This felt like a big shift for me. I didn’t push through. I backtracked. I paused. I prioritized my focus on one zone to manage, instead of spreading myself too thin.

Sitting and Breathing is Epic

People are often uncomfortable with the big M . . . Meditation.

We presume this is a state of total thought-free freedom . . . and you must be doing it wrong if you catch yourself thinking (not true).

We then use words like Mindfulness to soften the concept.

This other M word can lend to the idea that simply being mildly conscious here and there through the day is fully doing the work. I have found that it doesn’t compare in the results though.

Transform Stress with Mindfulness and Divination

Stress infiltrates our choices.

We might panic and rush into a decision too quickly.

Sometimes we blow up at people from a past hurt that the person standing in front of us may not have even caused.

Stress makes us hyper self-protect and shut down.

There is a lot of stress right now for many of us, and I find that learning new tools to access our higher self is one of the most powerful ways to stay centered in tough times.

The intuitive and divination arts are a pathway to uplevel in your mindfulness techniques.

maximize Your Rest Opportunities

In the whirlwind of summer, scheduling in long hours for true rest is often lower in priorities. When this happens, I take a page out of his book and find those moments when I can decompress even a little. 

Today, I want to offer you some suggestions of how you can make the most of the time you get to rest if you’re also buzzing with activity during the warm season.

Embrace Your Best Pace

Enjoy these tips to slow down and relish the days of summer more fully.

Mindful Shopping Tips

While naturally I am going to give you an offer in this email, I thought maybe we can all enjoy a moment of pulling away from the panic to make our best choices on our purchases.

Shopping is fun, and can amp us up. This state of urgency is not where you want to spend money from. But that’s the game, isn’t it?

Here’s some tips on how to to have fun and step into your own power in the hustle this weekend.

Meditation Supports INtuition

The beauty of working with your intuition is that you get to spend more time listening inward to your own wisdom. You get to relax into your body more. You get to become the best advisor to yourself that you can be.

Time to Bloom Once Again

Time to Bloom Once Again

Sometimes blossoming can be intimidating.

This rounding of the sun in particular, we are not only shedding away our winter coats, we are shifting collectively back into the bright world of socializing and getting back to being busy.

As more of us get vaccinated, events will surge. While this is thrilling, it also is a good moment to consider your own rhythms and comforts as we all become more extroverted again.

If you want to get warmed up to socializing with others while you learn the cards from a pro, we would love your company.
